I came to shoot the northern lights, but I ended up in a fog storm! That’s exactly how I’d describe the advancing waves of fog walls that rolled in at intervals of about half an hour. The fog tsunamis

The cellars in Botovo are located on the outskirts of the village, on a small hill relative to the settlement. The dugouts settlement is quite large – there are about a hundred underground vegetable storage

I haven’t stopped wanting to photograph dugouts, and I’ve once again become eager to capture the nighttime courtyard spaces. Over the years that I’ve traveled to various places and shot them at night,

This dead‑end side of the Ust‑Kubinsky District in the Vologda Region, like an unresolved gestalt, beckons with its unexplored nature. I decided to treat myself to a weekend trip and visit all those places

For me, there are two types of nighttime city photo walks: material and spiritual. I’ll explain. Material is equally dynamic, in the public eye, among people. Accordingly, the subjects are similar both

The pine grove in Sosnovka is, as always, beautiful, but there’s a nuance: the lighting has changed, and I’d say it’s worse. The reason is the renovated road, which emits too bright a light from the

On August 9, 2026, for the fourth time at the same time, I’m visiting Sosnovka. It’s no longer even an experiment; it’s more of a tribute to this strange place. I’m no longer looking for new subjects there;

I’m increasingly finding it boring to write posts. Maybe I’m just tired of doing it continuously for nine years (in six months it will be ten!). The relevance of earning money here has ceased to exist

Due to the renovation of the embankment, the street lighting was de‑energized, and only the signs of cafes and shops were lit, along with the emergency lighting in the courtyards. The red light from the

I’ve been meaning to visit a certain still‑unseen suspension (or maybe it’s an ordinary) bridge over the Toshnya River for a long time, and now I’ve finally made the trip. A high hill, a steep descent,

Every day, more and more buildings are being equipped with architectural lighting. I remember how it all started and how it shines now. It feels like you’re in some big, old city! It became more interesting

I don’t even remember what kind of moon was rising that evening. They didn’t let me film the full moon — it was covered by clouds, but I managed to capture the slightly waning one. And the positions coincided

One of my archived states (multiverses) in the photographic world is the minimalist genre. Many years ago, I was fascinated by this type of subject matter, but over time it lost its appeal for me. And

This year, it’s a bit tougher with street and everyday life — I have less free time for daytime walks. And it’s all because I’ve disconnected from the reporting wave I was constantly on. Now I only get

The village of Gogolitsyno is located in a hard‑to‑reach place — on the other bank of the Bokhtyuga River, which can only be reached via a wooden pedestrian bridge. There are several bridges leading to

The next village I visited was Gribtsovo, still in the same Sokolsky District, in the same Kharovsky direction. This settlement is located very close to the Kubena River, but not right on the bank. There

How much I longed for nighttime trips to villages when my car was being repaired, and now here I am again, “on the road”! I’ll deviate a bit from the narrative about the trip. Now I’ve realized that the

I’m getting more and more favorite spots in the Sosnovka area. The floodplain of the Yoma River has been added to the settlement itself and the pine grove. Fog is common here, and you can take photos of

Are the silvery clouds back? Where can I take a beautiful shots of them? Well, there’s an ideal place for all kinds of atmospheric, natural, and astronomical phenomena — the Spaso‑Prilutsky Monastery!

In winter, I tried to find this little bridge, but I was distracted by very bright light pillars. In summer, I found... well, just a little bridge, and that’s it. Fog as fog... field as field. The Pochenga
